Rendall Munroe smashed his way back on to the boxing scene last night with a first round demolition of Hungarian – Laszlo Fekete, in front of a packed home-crowd.
Boxing Binman Rendall Munroe had retired from the sport in December, after defeat to Scott Quigg for the interim WBA World Super-Bantamweight Title.
But the former English, Commonwealth, European and WBA international champion continued to frequent Shinfield’s Gym in Alfreton and it wasn’t long before he was training again.
Last night’s impressive first round victory at Lightweight proved he still has something special and he looked very happy to be back.
With huge support from the Leicester crowd, Rendall Munroe got straight to work from the ‘off’ and in less than two minutes Fekete was on his knees.
Referee Rob Chalmers administered the count but the Hungarian looked clearly uncomfortable and – rising at eight – it was waved off.
Rendall Munroe’s record now stands at 25 wins (11 by KO) 3 losses (1 by KO) and 1 draw. Fekete drops to 6 wins (5 by KO) 2 losses (2 by KO)
The Clifton Mitchell Promotions Show at Club Republic in Leicester also featured eight undercard contests.

Shields drops to 8 losses, no wins.
